That is one super exciting 360 video. Car looks terrific, exciting, and alive. Thank you very much Chazcron! While you are doing your magic (at it appear to us), might you please place one in my garage later today so I could do some real world testing. Please.

Not at all grainy when I view it on my iPadPro, nor is it when viewed on YouTube. In fact precise and clear on both.

Trouble with that is that it causes much lift which has to be opposed with more downforce which also adds drag. Looks very cool though. The trend is flat top front fenders. Check FVS renders. You can have it pretty or fast.

The sexiest car ever with the highest drag.

Anyway you can make it in Torch Red? Feel like that is likely the color it will be released in or white since the c7 was so popular.

Looks awesome on YouTube here on my iPhone. Extraordinary work Chaz!! As others have said, I really appreciate the time and effort you've put into creating these 3D renders!

You've demonstrated that it's a whole new game when it comes to visualizing what a car might look like based on limited and/or disguised images and footage. You really have set a fairly high bar for others to match/exceed.

Thanks for all you're doing. It really has helped to make this waiting game (for the real deal) SO much more interesting and fun!

Check this out. What programs do our artists use? Chaz uses Blender I think. David Williams uses Cinema 4D. These programs require a lot of time. As with any tool, it is worthless if you don't have God given talent.






I challenge our 3 resident artists to capture the gentle surface integration on top of this rear deck in their renders. I'll be the judge as to who is the best. State your program.

Thank the Lord we have Shaka's superiority to guide and judge the rest of us, the ignorant.

Can you show us one more time how the aerodynamics and air intake can possibly work with various side scoop shapes?

Looking really good Chaz!

I hope you’re wrong about the side scoop but even if that’s correct, it looks like GM has a new customer! (provided they’re available for $75-$80k)

I am pretty certain that GM's scoop will be more functional than mine, as I have no expertise on aerodynamics, I certainly hope it looks better. Whatever it is it will take getting used to after seeing mine for so long. All the gripes about mine. I said very early in this thread I would make one and stick to it until compelling proof/leaks point in the right direction. I had so much to figure out I decided I can't waste time trying to "improve" my design, which would still only be speculative, I still prefer it in black, but I don't care enough to switch it back right now.

Vid looks great and not grainy on both my iPad Air2 and even my iPhone 5s (time for an XR). Nice work Chaz and my weakness is it is rendered in blue.

Ask FVS to paint his car white. My PM box is full. It's not how big the posts are, it is the number?

I think the car will look more like this. There will be an outlet on top of the hood, at least on the high HP versions.

I think the tall front fenders and the narrow side glass is fake. This is how the side scoop will be.

Me too! As I think FVS’s rendition of the front facia is the best so far and makes sense having a space just tall enough in the middle to fit a license plate and the nose upper curve end lines up better on a plane intersecting the front wheel at the right height.
